Mastering engineer Billy Stull (left), owner of Masterpiece Mastering and pro audio equipment manufacturer Legendary Audio, has created the Masterpiece School of Mastering at South Padre Island, Texas. The school, an intensive three-day course on all aspects of the mastering phase of commercial recordings, will be held monthly.

“As more and more recordings are done at small or project studios, the need for quality mastering is greatly increasing,” Stull commented. “Unfortunately, that service is not always readily available, yet without it, these projects can't possibly reach their potential. Therefore, we hope to train, guide and assist engineers in their efforts to either start a mastering studio or enhance their current business and ultimately satisfy their customers.”
